This large bird of prey is caught in a moment the naked eye would never see.
The Buzzard was relaxed with her shoulders hunched forward and wings slightly open, then, seeing something to her left, her head has snapped round & her left wing tensed, but this split second moment has not followed though to her right wing yet.
It is this tension between being relaxed & alert that drew me to sculpt this pose.
The base has threaded holes so that she can be bolted on to a plinth indoors or outdoors. These are covered with baize to protect polished wooden surfaces when the bolts are not in use.
